Have Rash On The Body. Looked Like A Sunburn. Had A Fever 3 Weeks Ago. Suggestions?

Hi I have had a strange rash on my body. It starts out as a quarter sized round spot on my skin, pinkish in color, flat, looks a lot like a sunburn and then the spot gradually gets larger in a matter of days. I first noticed it about 2 weeks ago. I probably have about 8 or 9 on various parts of my body. No explanation, although I did have a fever for a couple of days about three weeks ago running between 101 and 102.
